Jensen/Anschell/Johnson/John Bishop - One More Mile Music CD

Idaho-based saxophonist Brent Jensen collaborates with long-time Seattle friends drummer John Bishop, bassist Jeff Johnson and pianist Bill Anschell on his 5th recording for Origin Records. From the freewheeling improvised "Punt" to Anschell's extremely melodic title cut, the group explores different avenues of modern jazz while always maintaining their dynamic and cohesive group aesthetic. Other selections include Anschell's creative re workings of "Birk's Works" and "Sweet and Lovely," standards such as "Beatrice" and "Alone Together," and originals by Johnson and Anschell.
